VISYN® NeuroStream® Technology
VISYN’s NeuroStream Technology, proprietary software and content, comes from years of neuroscience research and engineering found nowhere else. The technology is rich, multi‑modal, and uniquely effective, a true form of sports visualization training grounded in visual learning science. Complexity stays under the hood, so the experience feels exciting, intuitive, and easy.
NeuroStream R&D Lab
VISYN has developed and cataloged over 50 neuroscience factors for use in NeuroStream Training, backed by ongoing sports performance research: mirror neurons and the motor cortex, social and sports psychology, attention neuroscience, music and sound, visual and kinesthetic mental imagery, memory consolidation, biomechanical analysis, hierarchical progression, and more.
Performance Testing
We test our NeuroStreams using multiple techniques including measurement of outcomes, motion capture before and after training, and EEG during observational learning and mental imagery.
Testing of the Hockey Snap Shot Unlimited Practice NeuroStream showed improved outcomes of accuracy, velocity, release time, and observable form. Two groups were tested in a crossover design: VISYN NeuroStream plus physical practice, versus physical practice only. Researchers at the University of Minnesota conducted the statistical analysis. With only a 4 week intervention and a small sample size, the VISYN NeuroStream group showed a statistically significant, superior 233 percent improvement in accuracy over physical practice alone, along with trends of 300 percent improved velocity and 139 percent improved release time. These results validate VISYN as a proven form of motor skills training, which supports athletes’ cognitive performance training.
I. NeuroStream Training Taps Mirror Neurons and the Motor Cortex
THE MIND’S EYE
The visual cortex is amazing at identifying and processing visual stimuli. In addition to processing incoming visual information, the visual cortex also creates visual imagination. The visual cortex helps make mental maps of life experiences. Thus, both what we perceive through vision and what we imagine through mental imagery have amazing cognitive effects.
What this means:
Through both watching and mental imagery, you can coach your central nervous system to produce physical like training, even if you are not physically moving. Athletes and others that utilize our NeuroStream Training will simply perform better than those who do not.
COPY AND PASTE
Mirror neurons fire the same way whether the subject performs an action or views another person performing the same action. This helps explain why babies can learn complex physical movements quickly, like learning to walk, in a very short amount of time.
What this means:
When we observe someone else performing an action, our brain internalizes the experience as if it were its own.
THE STEERING WHEEL OF THE BODY
While hyper-trained experts control most of their well refined movements without requiring the attention of the motor cortex, the motor cortex plays a critical role in skill acquisition. When learning new skills, the motor cortex figures them out and controls repetitions that eventually build habits. Eventually the habit becomes strong enough that the motor cortex can get out of the way and the skill can be executed automatically and reflexively by other brain regions. Information from the visual cortex and the mirror neuron system guides the motor cortex in figuring out how to build those high quality movement techniques.
What this means:
If you train your visual cortex with rich, outstanding stimuli, the motor cortex will have the right information to move the body correctly.
II. NeuroStream Training Commands Attention
Repeated exposure to the same or similar visual stimuli can cause habituation, a barrier to learning: attention drops and boredom sets in. Visual Reps keep attention, counteract boredom, and push sustained learning, a form of cognitive performance training that sharpens golf & hockey focus training and sports mental conditioning alike while shaping a clear concentration on learning and performing perfect, consistent movements even across many repetitions of visual stimuli.
III. NeuroStream Training Provides Visual and Kinesthetic Mental Imagery
Perfect biomechanics visuals advance your visual mental imagery (Virtual Echo™) and kinesthetic mental imagery (Soma Sense™). During Virtual Echo™ segments, you echo what you just watched in your brain (imagine it); during Soma Sense™ segments, you imagine your body sensations as if performing the technique, while watching. Together, these function as sports visualization training, structured visualization exercises for athletes that go well beyond generic performance visualization techniques.
Golfers benefit from built-in golf swing visualization and golf visualization drills, powered by real golf mental imagery science, and these same sports visualization exercises carry over directly to the ice for hockey players. We guide you through both types of mental imagery to make it easy, for both form and intended outcome of a movement skill. Your training will be magnified and you’ll be using techniques used by elite athletes. Our advanced mental imagery is a patented process and a weapon now available to all.
IV. NeuroStream Training Synthesizes Body Movement
VISYN’s proprietary approach applies modern neuroscience and state-of-the-art motion capture technology to deliver data-driven, perfect form and cues, refining true golf swing mechanics and hockey shooting mechanics down to the smallest detail. Multiple elite performers contribute full-range demonstrations for each technique, providing the raw material for a proprietary sports performance research analysis that builds VISYN’s training products, largely removing coaching and trainer subjectivity.
